Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of underwater gravel leveling, in particular to an underwater gravel bed leveling device and a leveling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ground treatment is the foundation of the entire immersed tube tunnel project and one of the most important and complex processes in the construction of immersed tube tunnels. Currently, the commonly used methods for ground treatment of immersed tube tunnels include two categories: pre-laying method and post-filling method. The pre-laying method can be divided into two types: scraping method and pile foundation method. The post-filling method is to first sink the pipe section and support it on a temporary pad of reinforced concrete, and then fill the foundation between the bottom of the pipe section and the foundation, mainly including: sand flow method, sandblasting method, bag filling method and injection method. The technical equipment for the construction of the outer frame of the tunnel in the pre-laying method is mainly concentrated in two categories. One type uses a self-elevating platform as a carrier, and the laying and leveling equipment is installed on the platform deck or suspended underwater; the other type is the riprap leveling frame technology, which places a large steel frame with laying and leveling equipment on the seabed as a carrier.

[0003] Although the above two types of technologies have been widely used, they still face the following problems: 1) The operating water depth is limited and cannot meet the construction requirements of 50 to 100m.
